    The chronic pain and anxiety communities are continually viciously silenced around the issue of having our lifesaving medications forcibly tapered or removed altogether. The DEA is killing us and no one cares.

    Good stuff. Thoughts... 1. I'm so frustrated by the fact that governments and many people don't want to continue to do simple things that help protect "at risk" populations. Wear a mask or stay home if sick, get your boosters, wear masks in general more during higher spread times, etc. Although I think trying to help prevent more people from getting disabled by covid is ok but we do need to be careful about how we talk about that. There are ways I could of prevented some of my disability issues (pain issues and chronic fatigue in some ways). Every time I get covid my asthma and chronic fatigue gets worse. 2. They don't actually pay a living wage...yep. Found out when I (finally) applied 3 years ago. There is not enough dialogue about financial BS and it is so frustrating that there isn't more in at least the left leaning circles that are supposedly more inclusive. Why did I have to find out when I applied. I even worked with people with disabilities when I was younger and I pay attention as much as possible to issues. This wasn't talked about enough in homelessness issues as well. When I bring this up with left leaning friends, many just don't want to hear it. WTF!!!! 3. A truly free society is one that is as inclusive as possible. People confuse inconvenience with a lack of freedom. One issue of extreme individualism and how we've tied it to "freedom". 4. I don't know all the words. I pay attention but there is no way to know everything. We need to just not be dismissive if people want to know. Information dissemination is problematic in this day and age where there is so many sources for information and for exchanging it. 5. Where are some spaces (accounts, publications, etc) that we can keep up with language and protests and ways to ask society for a more inclusive and better treatment? 6. Everything said here I loved so much!!!!
